REPEAL OF Tli£ CIVIL TEXUIIK aiLU
Dictator Grant has signed the bill re
pealing, (or, rather, modifying) theCiv
II Tenure Bill. The guilloTine is now
to be put in active operation, and every
man Who is nota nigger,ora nigger lov
er, ora relative of tbo Grant tribe, is to
be beheaded at once.
For nearly a month Congress has
been occupied in an effort to repeal this
infamous and unconstitutional act.—
Those who had voted fbr it—the Repub
lican members —found it hard to “go
back” on their bantling, and of course
some of them squirmed like skinned
eels when the Democratic mem
bers held up to their gazo the
speeches they had made in its defense
previous to its passage. But Grant de
manded its repeal; ho said it was im
possible for the President to administer
the Government to his own satisfaction
or the satisfaction of his party so long
as the act was in force. The Republican
members of Congress, therefore—shame
less demagogues that they are—finally
voted for the repeal of this measure
which stood between the Radical party
and plunder. The speeches delivered
by a number of the Radical Senators
and members of the House were very
funny, when we consider that most of
these very fellows had voted for, the
measure. One Senator spoke of the
Civil Tenure Bill as “Unconstitution
al;” another said ho considered it “a
foolish act from the first;” another
anathematized itas “Infamous,” Ac.—
Nice confessions these to be made b\
men. who'had voted for the bill, and
advocated it in set speeches. If the act
was unconstitutional—and they now
admit it was—then they purjured them
selves when they voted for It. This is
their confession now I
The Civil Tenure Bill then has been
repealed, or modified in a way that
gives Grant full sway. It is well. Of
all the acts of the last infamou* Rump
Congress, this was the meanest, the
most villainous. It was intended to
annoy and hamper President Johnson,
and to force him to retain scoundrels in
office against his judgment. It was for
the benefit of Radical thieves that.this
bill of abominations was passed, and we
have no doubt the Government lost
millions of dollars, owing to the fact
that Mr. Johnson could not remove the
leeches from office who were sucking
the life-blood of the nation. Now that
the Radicals are in power in all the de
partments, with a weak and willing
tool for President, they have no more
use for the Civil 'lenure act. They de
-ire full swing at the people’s treasury,
and are whetting their teeth for the
feast before them. There never was a
party so shameless, remorseless and
greedy as this black-and-tan Radical
party. It will stoop to anything, even
to perjury, to accomplish Us political
ends. Without plunder U would die in a
month, for on plunder it has lived from
iU birth. Already Grant hasappojnted
<ome of the most notorious traitors and
plunderers in the country to office, and
if the national debt does not goon in
creasing, it will not be his fault. The
country reels under the load of infamy
placed upon its shoulders, and drunk
ards and libertines till the places for
merly held by statesmen and gentle
men. “ God savbtheCommcpweaith.”
GKS LOXtiNI'RUET,
"The bloody-handed traitor,” as the
Radicals fomierly called him, was con
firmed by the U. 8. Senate on Saturday
la«t as. Surveyor of the Port of New Or
leans. Next to Lee Longstreet was the
most prominent of the Rebel Generals,
and was noted for his savage acts. Af
ter one of the battles of the Wilderness,
when he was compelled to retreat, he
• ordered the woods to be fired ; in those
woods some fifteen hundred wounded
soldiers nf the Union army were welter
ing in their blood. They were burned
alive. Their hones were gathered up
after a heavy rain had drowned out the
fire. So said the Radical papers at the
time.
But Gen. Longstreet has taken the
iron-clad oath ; he has joined the Radi
cal party ; more than this, he is related
to Mrs. Grant. Hence he gets an office
worth $25,000 a year. ” Let us have
peace.”
Bergner has been con
firmed aa Postmaster of Harrisburg.—
Gon. Knipe, one of the heroes of the
war, and who was wounded three times
—a poor man,exceilentofflcer, and pop
ular with the citizens —is-removed, and
Bergner, the rich stay-at-home contrac
tor, takes his place. This.ls a heartless
and villainous act, and stamps Grant
and his pie-bald party ns dissemblers
.and falsifiers. "Those who fought for
the Union must be cared for, JJ was a
favorite expression with Ridical liars
last fall when men were appealed to in
behalfof the wooden map,Grant. Now,
however, the very fellowA who bellowed
so lustily for the " heroes of the war,”
turn these heroes out of office to make
place for ex-contractors and professional
politician?. To Mr, BergnerpcrsonalJy,
we have no objection ; he is, we believe,
an upright citizen, and will make a
good officer; but to turn Gen. Knipe
out of the Post office is an outrage upon
patriotism and decency.
During a debate in the Rump
House, a few days since, Beast Butler
assailed the brave old hero General Gil
lem, a man who was engaged in as many
battles during the rebellion as any
man in the army. General Giliem
was a “ Copperhead, 1 ’ said the great
spoon thief. General G. was in com
mand recently, in Mississippi, and be
cause he did not persecute, brow-beat
and insult white men, and give ear to
every impudent negro, he is a “Copper
head,” in Beast Butler’s opinion. Well,
better be a “ Copperhead” than a cow
ardly thief.

a xkw iudhal mvi.mdli;
The following article (editorial,) ap
peared in Forney’s Press a few weeks
since:
“ An appeal to the Benevolent. —A
dngularcharity appeals at present Ip the
heart of Philadelphia. A gentleman, <j|fe 11
recommended by Rev. Albert Barnes ami
other distinguished and Judicious clergy
men, asks' contributions in aid of a
•‘home,” established in Florida for the
orphans made fatherless during Um- past
years by the Ku Klux and other desper
ate gangs which have overrun the South
ern Suites. iHesays:
In East Florida near old Fort King, a
colony of these children are now being
gathered. Temporary homes have been
ibtained for over five hundred, while two
hundred and forty-nine, including six
ieen infants, sixty-three whites, one hun
dred and eighty-six colored, are now be
ing cured for at the above places. They
are in large log buildings, lodging on hay ,
and straw, being kept alive by the mea
gre pittance of sweet potatoes, milk and
wld fruits! and a matron have
been obtained for them, but they suffer
very n uch for of food, as the
corn has been all consumed that was pro
vided for them in the fall.
Friends their contributions to
the Protestant Episcopal Book Room,
122LChestnut street, Philadelphia, or to
S. A. Bancroft & Co., 512 Arch street,
matked, “Orphans of Lincoln Institute,-
Fast Florida.” The Rev. Mr. Newton,
.if the Church of Epiphany, has already
contributed one hundred dollars. Rev.
Fhilip Brooks and his people, Rev. Mr.
Allen and his members, and the Sabbath
School alsocontrlbuted. We are sure the
statement of this case will carry its own
appeal.
Persons wishing further testimonials as
to the character or responsibility of the
parties asking aid, can see them at the
rooms above mentioned. For prudential
reasons it is not deemed judicious to pub
lish the.name of the gentleman in charge
of the work.”
When wo read the above in Forney’s
Press, we made up our mind that the
story as related, was a He from the
whole cloth, for its every statement had
the appearance of an exaggeration and
an impossibility. We now have the
proof, positive and undeniable, that our
surmise wafr correct. A friend In Flor
ida assists us in exposing this bnseswin
die, by sending us copies of South
ern papers refering to it. From these
Southern papers we copy as follows :
The above from the Philadelphia Press
is quite an item of news. We cannot be
lieve the statement made by the “ well
recommended gentleman,” and are in
clined to think.that he is either a religious
or political swindler.
Won’t mir East Florida Exchanges en
lighten the community at large?— Sav.
Advertiser.
We have madediligent Inquiry concern
ing the above, and find no one to corrob
nrale it, but many who say that the “well
recommended gentleman” isassuggesled,
either a “religious or political swindler.”
Fort King is three miles from Ocala, at
which place the East Florida Banner Is
published. What says the Banner?
Jacksonville Floridian it* Mercury.
If “the Rev. Mr. Newton of the Church
of Epiphany,” or the Revs. Mr. BrooKS
and Mr. .Aldea are paid by their people
such a salary as to enable them to give
dollars away by the hundred, to every
swindler w>ho comes to them with a tale
that bears upon its face the evidence of its
fraud, we have nothing to say, further
that we pity the people who have such
soft addle-headed par>ons to teach
them the way to heaven. We pro
nounce the whole thing a swindle,
and the parties engaged in it, religious
twindlers ; and those who have given
away money in aid of “ A Home,” for the
victims of the Ku Klux, are poor, miser
able dupes, with more money than brains,
and deserve to lose every dollar sq given.
“ For prudential reasons it is not deemed
judicious to publish the names oi the gen
tleman in charge of the work !” No doubt
ibis is a very good rea-otj for not publish
ing names, and the gentleumn “ well rec
ommended by Mr. Alfred Barnes” best
knows the reason. We would undertake
to say, however, that both the gentle
man’s name and phisiogomy may be seen
by a visit to the “ rogues* gallery,” at
6th and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia,
and thereby the Frets will be saved fur
ther necessity of publishing this swindle
either for its own benefit or that of the
” well recommended gentleman.” “Birds
of a leather flock together,” and “ we are
known by those with whom we
associate.'' Arc you aware of that, Mes
srs Barnes, Brooks and Allen? Suffice
If. to say, the whole story published hy
Fornev’s Frees, is an unmitigated false
’hood.’ I —Ocala Banner, (Radical pa; er )
Now', the question recurs, into whose
pockets did the money go, that was con
tributed to these bogus “ orphans made
fatherless by the Ku Klux ?” Were the
“loll” clergymen whose names figure
in Forney’s article the originators of
this most infamous swindle, or was it
the inventive genius of some “loll”
politician that brought it into successful
working order? Answer, Forney! Tills
swindle, by which hundreds and per
haps thousands of dollars were collected
from soft dupes, has now been exposed,
and justice demands that the swindlers
be exposed also. Who is the man whose
name ” ft?r prudential reasons is sup
pressed?” M'i. F.onieyowcs it to himself
to expose the vf I Jain. And if the Rev
erend gentlemen whose names are iiggd
in the Press article desire to be cunsid
ered blameless, they will ferret out this
fraud gud expose the guilty wretch who
perpetrated U. Silence will not answer ;
should theseclergymeu roluseor neglect
to explain this transaction, those who
have been swindled will have a right 19
regard them with suspicion at least.—
Lot them look to this, for their charac
ters as ministers and men are at stake.
This article from. Forney’s Press of
which >ve are speaking, goes to show
with how much pprsistency the Radicals
continue to misrepresent and slander
the people of the South. All these sto
ries about the Ku Klux Klaus, which
are manufactured in Washington, Phil
adelphia and New York for the edifica
tion of Radical gudgeons, are pure in
ventions, and their object is two-fold,
One«obJect Is political, th« other money
making. Radical politicians, os a gen
eral thing, are political gamblers, and
when they fail to "raise the wind” in
one way, they resort to another, but al
ways at the expense of decency and the
people. God never made a more rav
enous set of bipeds than professiolal
Radical politicians. Theyglory.in their
shame, revel Ju stolen money, sneer at
the laws and the Constitution, lie, plun
der and debauch, all in the name of
“loilty." i
#Sy Brooks andOrme, under sentence
of death, for the murder of Theodore

e@-Tho infamous Ashley has been
appointed Governor of Montana. It Is

L''NGBTR)Set thus far is the only re
bel general that Grant hasojscovered to
belong to the family. When others are
found the United States Senate will be
duly notified.
THE INFAMY EO.VSI’M ATED.
In our last we announced, briefly,
that that measure of,infamy, the Negro
Suffrage Amendment to the Constitu
tion of the United States had been rati
fied by our corrupt and shameless IjCg-'
Mature. The vote in the House stood,
yeas 61, all Radicals, to nays 38, all
Democrats. In vain did the Democrats
of the Senate and the I louse endeavor to
s ‘i-iiro a r-oim.ifc-duu of this question to
the people. The Radicals know the
hateful thing would he indignantly re
pudiated and overwhelmingly defeated
at the ballot box; so a Legislature which
was elected without any reference to the
subject, and without the right so to
change the fundamental law of the
State, voted to fasten Negro Equality
upon Pennsylvania.
For this outrageous act the Radical
party must answer to the people. The
question wiil remain open during the
coming Gubernatorial campaign, and
the people of Pennsylvania will have a
chance to elect a Legislature pledged to
repeal the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment which has been fraudu
lently obtained.. That this will be done
is Just as certain as fate..

Above the middle height, with a red

There was no deception hero. In the
scanty furniture of the house, and in the
pale, sad countenance of the speaker,
there was evidence enough of poor and
altered fortune- It wak now evening and
growing rapidly dark. A big fire blazed
on the ample hearth, and Mrs. Mudd, uu
intelligent and handsome lady, with one
of her children, joined the Doctor and
ourselves in the conversation over the
events of that memorable April.aiorning
after Die assassination
“ Did you sdl Booth, Mrs. Mudd ?” we
inquired, with a feeling of intense inter
est to hear her reply.
“Yes,” she replied. “I saw himself
and Harold, after they entered this par
id*. Booth stretched himself out on that
sofa (iiere, and Harold stooped down to
whisper something to him.”
“ How did Booth look?”
“ Very bad. He seemed as though he
had bee:, drinking very hard. His eyes
were red and swoleu, and his hair in dis
order.”
“ Did he appear to suffer much?”
“ Not after he laid down on the sofa-
In fact, it seemed us if hardly anything
was wrong with him then.”
1 “ Wlmt kind of a fracture did Booth
sustain?” we inquired, addressing the
Doctor.
“ Well,” said he, “after he was laid
"down on that sofa, aud having told me
his leg was fractured by his horse falling
on him, during bis journey up from
Richmond, X took a knife and spilt the
leg of his boot down to the instep, slipp
ed it off, and the sock with It. I then
felt carefully with both hands down
along bis leg, but at first could discover
nothing like crepitation, till after a sec
ond investigation, I found on the outside,
near the ankle, something that felt like
indurated flesh, and then, for the that
time, I concluded it was a direct and
clean fracture of the bone. I then iraprb
vised, out of pasteboard, a sort of boot,
that adhered close enough to the leg to
keep M rigidly straight below the knee,
without at ail interfering with the flex
ure of the leg. A low cut shoe wa sub
stituted lor the leather boot, and between
five and six o’clock In the morning,
Booth and his companion started off for
a point op the river below’.
** How did Booth’s horse look after bis
long rldo?” we Inquired.
“The boy, after putting him in the
stable,” the Doctor replied, “ reported
that bis back underneath the forward
part o/the saddle, was raw and bloody.
This circum-tunce tallied with Booth's
account that lie hud been riding all day
previous from Richmond, and no suspi
cion arose iu my mind for one instant that
the man whose leg I was attending to
was anything more than wbht he reoro
sented himself. 1 ’
“You knew Boolb before, Doctor?”
“Yea,” replied the Doctor. “I was
first introduced to Booth in November,
ISU4, at tlie church yonder, spoke a few
words to him, and never saw him after
wards until a little while before Christ
mas. when I happened to be in Wash

I became almost necessarily acquainted
from the fact of his living op the road I
traveled so often on my way to Washing

walked along the AVVHHP three or four
blocks, when we suddenly came across
Surratt and Welchman, and all four hav

the National Hotel and had a round of
drinks. The witnesses in my case swore
that Booth mil I moved to u corner of

or so in secret consultation. ’That was a
barefaced lie. The whole four of us were

[second despatch.]
Philadelphia, April 3.—This morn
ing Mrs. Camilla E. Twitchel left the ci
ty under circumstance** which would ap
pear to lend countenance of truth to the
arraignment of her hy her-husband for
the murder of Mrs. Hill. About a week
ago she visited the condemned man in
his cell for the last time.' She then had
u conversation with the Rev. Mr. Bring
hurst, in the course of which she mani
fested the liveliest concern as to whether
her husband had said anything to bis
spiritual adviser which would implicate
her in the murder. She inquired espe
cially if Mr. Twitchel had made any
statement about the crime. Mr. Bring
hurst responded that he hud Then the
wife Inquired If ho had made a confes
sion, to which she again received an af
firmative response. Mrs, Twitchel then
inquired if her husband had made any
statement concerning herself In connec
tion with the murder, to which she like
wise received an affirmative response.—
“ Ye«,” said Mr. Bringhurst, “he has
told me all about it." “ Then,” exclaim
ed Mrs. Twitchel, “he Is a villain, the
greatest villain on the face of the earth."
She then directed her inquiries to the
day of execution, asking if Twitchel in
tended to make any statement on the
scaffold. She was assured by Mr. Bring
hurst that he intended to do so- This
brought out the inquiry as to whether
any newspaper reporters would bw pres
ent, and when she was told that such
wou’d be the case, 'she exclaimed.—
“ That would he bud!"
Since the day on which this conversa
tion occurred, Mrs. Twitchel has not
been near the cell of her husband, and
this morning she left the city for parts
unknown.

for Vice Hrcftlclcnt—lndiana and Ncsrroea—
Grant and the Radicals.
Correspondence American Volunteer.
Washington, April 3,1809.
Bath Houses have finally agreed to a
‘ Shally-Shally” compromise on the
tenure of office bill. While in one see.
tion it professes to be a repeal of the for
mer law—and thus satisfies the Radical
repealers; In another section it enacts
provisions even more stringent than the
former law contained. It was ingenious
ly framed to meet "the objections Presi
dent Grant had, urged against the exis
ting law, and yet leave the most odious
provisions of the law In force. Poor
Grant has been hedged in on ail sides.—
If he vetoes the bill, he not only Invites
the hostility of his party friends, but the
original law remains in full force. If he
approves it, his hands will be more effec
tually tied than they are now. Which
ever way lie jumps, ho will just bo got
tlngout of the frying pan into fho fire.—
It is generally believed thaj he will ap
prove the bill, to “let us havo peace,-’ if
for do other reason.
Congress has been in Session for four
mouths, and it would puzzle anybody to
say what one thing they have done to
benefit the country. They have done
absolutely nothing to lessen the burdens
of the people or inspire hope for the fu
ture. Much of their time has bem. spent
in worthless wrangle and altercation,—
Some things they have done, hut not one
is ofauy help to the people. They have
passed a law which gltuidons the heart of
rich bondholders and etook jobbers: but
they were rich enough before, and all
tills additional gain comesout of aorusb
ed and suffering people. They have pass
ed a copper tariff bill, but here, too, the
pooreufihr, and, probably, not five hun
dred persona, all told, are benefited, By
these two laws not one man ip a thous
and Ik the gainer, I have nbt forgotten
the fifteenth amendment, to make the
negro a voter everywhere. Bot this is
not a finality ; and if it wore, would not
do any real good to the negro, much less
to the white rauu.
We have now had parliamentary gov
ernment adpiinlatered by Radicals for
nearly four years. Is it not practically a
failure? It teems that the country can
expect little or nothing from this Con
gress hut senaejess agitation and an in
decent struggle forspoi’s. Perhaps if the
people would seize every opportunity to
express their disgust by their votes, pub
lic meetings. &0., there might be some
little improvement. But we n»ed new
material altogether. The present Con
gress is already as much of 5 failure as
ejtherof itspredepesapra, and there will
Ipe no satisfactory change until we get a
fresh set of men-
The colored Lieutenant-Governor of
Louisiana was upon the floors of Con
gress one day last week. Whilp in tb.e
Senate quite a number of Senators went
up and spoke tq him. Mr. Wilson
went over to Senator Garret Davis and
proposed to present him to the distin
guished colored individual, but Mr. Da
vis goodhumoredly declined, Mr. Dunn
was attired in a plain suit of black, with
kid gloves, the color of his skin. Since
he has been In the city it is said that
Gov. Dunn had roomed wRh one or the
Louisiana Senators, w'luch h aa had the
effect tp causa certain other parties who
were stopping at the same house to leave,
(senator Sumner took pain's to pay him
particular attention to-day. After satis
fying himself with tip? Senate, the Lieu
tenant Governor, strolled over to the
House of Representatives, and was there
alsp received with open arms. Occupy
ing a position in the nortweat corner of
the hail with Senator Cameron, who
came over from the Senate with him,
Mr. J. R. Sypher acted as usher,and one
by one marched the Republican mem
bers up and introduced, them. The Lieu
tenant Governor seemed to appreciate
the situation, as be stood there his tail
and commanding figure towering above
all who were introduced to him. i-omp
of the intense radicals were very obse
quious, but others of the Republicans
walked with apparent reluctance, and
left as soon as they had shaken hands
with their guest. Others seemed particu
larly to attract 'attention to the
vast amount of respect they were dispos
ed to show him,
The appointment of E. Ketchum,
a Philadelphia negraw, to a clerkship In
(ho Treasury Department, lies caused
& i fat excitement among the Colored popu
lation of the District of Columbia. As
soon as they heard the report they throng
ed the Treasury building in great num
bers and all shades and sizes, many with
little picannlnies in their arms, demand
ed offices and bureaus. It will never do
for your Radicals of Pennsylvania to
j give the negroes the right to hold offioa,
! or ih**y will insist on more than their
| fair share of the spoils of victory. It is
I quite enough to let Sambo vote.
| I notice, in one ofthe city papers, that
j rather n laughable scene occurred in the
I Senate chamber, lust waek. It seems
i that a era ay man got ihto the Vice Presi-
I dent's chair, and claimed to be Schuyler
Colfax : I twos before the session had com
menced, and the door was tilled with
visiters; all at once the strangers were
startled by the sharp rap of the Speak
er’s gavel, and on looking, a rather pre
possessing gentleman was found in the
net of taking the chair. Believing that
something new had occurred, and that
the Senate was going to commence its
session earlier than usual, many of the
uninitiated made for the doors, and the
gentleman accelerated this movement by
a raaje»tlc wave of tbe band, which said,
just ns plain as words could make it,
“get out.” The initiated saw at once
that there was a mistake somewhere, for
the gentleman who hud handled tbe
Speaker’s gavel with such vigor, was
neither Mr. Colfax or Mr. Anthony, nor,
in fact, so much as an humble member,
so they stopped to see fun. Just as the
new Speaker was about giving the' desk
another vigorous hammering, an officer
stepped up and asked the gentleman
what ho was about. “lam Mr. Colfax,”
suui the man, “and I want the Senate to
coma to order.” The officer saw that the
nnui was deranged, bo with commenda
ble tail, he addressed the new Mr. Col
fax io the most polite manner, and in
formed him that there were a number
of bills which needed his signature be
fore the session commenced, and as there
wen* a great many people about he'd bet
tor .slap in® a committee room and sign
them. The Speaker relapsed into a
thoughtful mood for u moment, and then
signified that lie was ready to accompa
ny the officer. He w<ih Accordingly es
corted out into the lobby, and thence on
to the steps of the east front, where he
was informed that it was cooler Mian it
was inside, a fact that probably be had
no trouble in determining. From the
time that he was placed outside, until
the hour for the session to commence, lie
conMunlly consulted his watch. At 12
o’clock he made an effort to enter, but
was prevented by an officer informing
him that to-day was Cabinet day, and be
would probably be wanted at the White
House. He immediately started in that
direction. The man hails from Boston,
and the only name which, he acknowl
edges is that of Schuyler Colfax, Vice
President of the United States*
Considerable excitement is occasioned
by a despatch from the west announcing
.that “the Indians of the plains will not
take scalps from the headsof the negroes
killed in battle." It is considered as a
flagrant violation of the civil rights bill.
This is the crowning insult toour colored
citizens. Shall the red-skips thus be al
lowed to make distinction on account of
race or color? When the colored troops
fight bravely, may these untazed Indi
ans scorn their scalps as being no trophy
worth thetakingofl? This contemptuous
treatment of the black man by the Bsd
man is not to be borne. Senator Sumner
must see to it; he must prepare resolu
tions ; ho must fulminate speeches
against “ the red man of the forest" who,
when on the war path, dares to show a
savage disrespect to wool. Let us have a
law that.whenever an untaxed red-shin
says “ Ugh, big Indian no scalp nigger,"
somebody shall" shoot him on tbespot."
The Indians refuse to scalp the colored
soldier, notbecause of the difficulty ih
getting his scalp off, for they scalp all
the short haired white soldiers they can
find. It is their contempt for the negro
as an inferior race. They must be taught
better; a new stipulation must be put in
all the Indian treaties, that “uq distinc
tion of race or color" shall be made by
them.
The,Radical papers on a,Il sides are be*
ginning to openly express their dissatis
faction will) Grantund his appointments.
The grumbles give place to §royyU, The
